Julie E Ebersole, LPC

Julie E Ebersole helps people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT concerns, and major life changes. She presents a steady, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on helping clients find practical steps they can use day to day.

Julie practices in a person-centered way. She starts by listening closely to each person's experience and goals. From there she works side-by-side with clients to build on strengths and try small, concrete changes. Sessions aim to be grounded and practical rather than abstract.

Her background includes a master’s degree in professional counseling and a master’s in crisis and trauma counseling. She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Virginia and brings 17 years of experience in counseling and therapeutic support.

Julie integrates several approaches in her work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns and behavior. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward chosen values.

All sessions are offered online. Julie focuses on working collaboratively to set goals and review progress. The tone is supportive, straightforward, and focused on helping people make changes that matter in daily life.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping people break patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulty. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult emotions, clarify what matters to them, and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what is or is not helping.

Online therapy makes those methods accessible through multiple formats. Video calls let people work in real time with visual cues. Phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option and can be easier when camera time is unwanted. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, homework discussion, and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
